I see that the Governor is out again exploiting the Louisiana Purchase as a justification If all toe people of the country were as loyal ts every interest affects them as the newspapers are to their towns, counties and state, there would be a wonderful differ- in things. The newspapers of North Carolina, and of other states as well, dairy and weekly. city or country papers, show more genuine loyalty to the communities, towns and in which they labor than any other institutions or enterprise that have to do with the public interest.

North Carolina is ably represent- ed in congress and the state could do no better than return all of these representatives. While we may not have the of speaking for the entire State, save in a general way, we do feel the right of expressing an ion as to the first district, The people of this district should have no other idea than returning John H.
